you use a proggy like rage3d tweak (http://www.rage3d.com/r3dtweak/) or PowerStrip (http://www.entechtaiwan.com/ps.htm) then OC both the core and mem until you get artifacts then back down by 5mhz on the one you just upped

[HeXenViRii]

yup , its not really that complicated for just oc'ing vid cards ; things get intersting when u start to mix more voltage and extreme cooling

Don't jump too high when you increase speed; I know they say to increase with intervals of 10mhz on core, but I'm not sure about the incriment on memory.

thanx!!! as soon as im home ill download the proggys and see.

btw, this comp has a SIS 128tv could i use those programs for it?

you could use powerstrip but I do't know why you would try it's crap now and it'll be crap then

what brand is your card if its sapphire the most i could get was a 13mhz increase with the stock sink for the mem.

modenaf1, how did you exist long enough on these forums to get 7 stars, but not know how to overclock a video card?

I have been here about 2-3months. I usually am in gen cooling and amd stuff. and gen chat of course.

LOL!!!1!! that goin in my sig!!!

[Cheesy Peas]

woah two sig quotes, dont ya think thats gettin kinda silly now F1?

have you installed rage3d tweak yet?
you might find that the clocks are locked at certain speeds on your card, but you might not just install it and see what happens.

he he, silly. I interchange different silly stuff throughout my sig whenever i get the chance.


yep, i think i have to re download it or take care of all my windows errors first. under one of the tabs in the 3d tweak program it says in green stars, that there was an installation error. I think i first gotta get rid of all my win errors first, then try it.

I just got my forst ATi-card since some 8MB thing in a Dell Dimension with a P2 350 :)

Anyway.. I tried OCing it with powerstrip. I don't like pstrip, but it still worked well to OC my card. The problem is that I have maxed out the OCing options... pstrip won't let me go any higher :(
How can I overclock my card past the limits pstrip has?

[Finken]

Or is there another way to do it? (without a 3rd party program like pstrip)

[FunkDaMonkMan]

Look in the Preferences; there should be an option to expand the sliding bar.

[Finken]

thanks, but I wasn't able to find that option..

but I solved my problem anyway :)
I did something similar to the Simpsons-trick with coolbits.. I just rescanned my system and recorded the overcklocked settings as the defaults :)
